. *n v ONE HORSE FARMER ASKS PERTINENT QUESTIONS Editor The Herald and News: I see in the papers that a number of cotton factories have declared dividends?some 100, some 200, and some 300 per cent. I notice also that where a large dividend is declared it is always issued in stock and not in money. Why is this? Is this an opoprtune time to incrcuse the capacity and output cf factories, when material is so costly and labor so uncertain? Some say it is done to avoid paying income tax. 13 that so? Has congress made one set of laws, tAT-ino" (nr not taxing) corpora-! tions, and another set of laws for; tilting individuals? If one man may invest his income | in factory stock without paying tax| on his income, why may not another invest his income for improving his farm, or increasing the stock in his store without paying an income tax? If a factory or other establishment has. a hundred thousand capital stock ' 1 * 1 ?+V>i.uo KunrlroH ! 1QT6SICQ; ana uia&cs bmvc ?? pef cent, on its investment, that amounts" to three hundred thousand . dollars which would be turned loose in the community if it were paid to the stotJdiolders in money. Can you give an estimate of the millions and billions of dollars that have been stowed away in the vaults . of - manufacturing companies' in the United States within the last six < months! 'The census reports may give the vgjoe of all different kinds of factories in; operation last year. Now if each one should stow away money to its value, What would be the sain? Even one tenth of this amount would be a big sum of money. ; ^'"i&nfag; the panics we have had heretofore there was very little - money tfedup in the South. We are , * on the verge of a panic now, and JKere must be a good deal of money j .t|ed idp here at home. . Now if a farmer or merchant own? a hundred bales of cotton and at the "** ' " * '* ~ +Va?bo?/J dr?ll?r<? rime OWBS tt myuotmu V4w?>?.? . of stock in a cotton factory, ; would it not be to his advantage and for the benefit of all parties concern& he would induce his factory tot>U7\part of his cotton at a fair) price? There are a great many stockholders in cotton factories in the Sou#*, now. Gould they not t ^ lieve ihe situation now by inducing to buy cotton? Then maybe many -factories that manufacture other things besides cotton that cool/} likewise. may be' wrong in my supposition about the factories issuing stock to favp*. also about their | TVIU jrojtug v?...?, holding money. I only see what they can do. They may hold back their' money in order to buy cotton at a Very low price, then later buy a little v - cotton at a high price, and after*' * '*" a1?

"Although they were loaned mony freely to make this expensive rop, the farmers are now told that hey must help themselves. I hope hat this is the last time that the armers will get caught in this same rap which has been getting them for 0 years. Surely the farmer should iave as much intelligence as a bird, nd a bird will avoid a trap in which! ie has once been caught. But the armer will get caught in the samel Id trap and with no bait at all. He ust walks in.

"To my knowledge., we have whip-j ied the bears five years and we are ;oing to whip them again, worse han they have ever had it. By May >r June 40 cents cotton is going to ook cheap to them. All that the armers have got to do is to sitj teady in the boat, deflate the cot-1 [ton acreage from 33 to 50 per cent. J by sowing in small grain and plant-1 fi ing food crops. | "If this is done, it will cut the fer- j tilizer bills in half, there will be j fewer mules sold, and in less than j ^ six months you will see cotton sell- j ^ ing above the price set by the Amer-^ b ican Cotton association." i n mm a >i Boll Weevils in Georgia. ^ V T> . _ 1. ?..
